he proceeded to find industries that were willing to build in Shelton, and sometimes even financed their ventures.

Shelton, CT succeeded in becoming an industrial town and boasted a mile of busy brick factories making everything from pins, tacks, bolts, paper boxes, silverplate, a printing press, the famous Huntington piano, and a whole lot more.

By 1910 the population had more than tripled to 5,545 people, and they all lived somewhere close to the factories. Another interesting note, the bars in the downtown area numbered about ten at one time.

I worked for awhile in one of the factories that is still in operation today called
Chromium Process. Behind the Chromium Process Plant there used to be an old brick Tiffany factory that was built in the 1920's.
